Train buffs relish journey through the Thar Desert

KARACHI:

The Sindh Culture and Tourism Department and Special Initiatives Facilitation Centre have opened a new chapter in tourism by organising the Thar Desert Train Safari. Following its maiden trip on February 11, the second journey started from Karachi on February 26.

The train snaked through the vast expanses of the Thar Desert stopping at Hyderabad Junction, Mirpurkhas Railway Station, and Chhor Railway Station, and continued until the last stop before the Indian border at Khokhrapar Railway Station, and then back to Karachi.

Enthusiasts had the opportunity to see the historical sites of interior Sindh. In addition to enjoying the beautiful sunset at Chhor and Parche-Ji-Veri, they also experienced the desert camel rides. This highly fascinating journey of the Thar Desert Train Safari lasted from February 26 to 27.
